If you’re a dog owner who dreams of beautiful hardwood floors but worries about scratches, dents, or water damage, we have the solution you’ve been looking for. Proximity Enduring and Everlasting engineered hardwood combines stunning design with unmatched durability, making it the perfect choice for pet-friendly homes.
Hardwood Floors That Can Handle Your Furry Friends
We know how tough it can be to keep hardwood floors pristine when you have pets. From muddy paws to unexpected accidents, dogs can be rough on traditional hardwood. But with Proximity’s revolutionary densified engineered hardwood, those concerns are a thing of the past.
Proximity hardwood is:
- Waterproof: Designed to handle spills, moisture, and even pet accidents without warping or staining.
- Scratch-Resistant: Four times more resistant to scratches than standard engineered hardwood, perfect for homes with even the most energetic pets.
- Dent-Resistant: Six times more dent-resistant, so no more worrying about claw marks or dropped toys.
What Makes Proximity Hardwood Different?
Proximity hardwood uses densified wood technology, a natural process that transforms wood into an ultra-hard material. By applying heat and pressure, this process increases the Janka hardness rating of oak from 1360 to over 3000, making it nearly three times as durable as traditional hardwoods.
This means Proximity hardwood can stand up to the daily wear and tear of life with pets while maintaining its beauty for years to come.
What Makes Proximity Hardwood Floors Perfect for Pet Owners?
1. Waterproof Protection
Dogs and accidents go hand in hand, whether it’s a water bowl spill, muddy paws, or the occasional mishap. Traditional engineered hardwood offers some water resistance, but Proximity goes further. These floors are waterproof, providing protection for up to 24 hours against spills and moisture, so you don’t have to stress about quick cleanups.
2. Scratch Resistance
Scratches from dog nails are a common worry for hardwood floor owners. Proximity’s densified wood technology makes it four times more scratch-resistant than traditional engineered wood. You’ll get the durability of laminate and SPC rigid core flooring without sacrificing the warmth and beauty of real hardwood.
3. Dent Resistance
Proximity hardwood is six times more dent-resistant than other engineered options. The densified oak surface is tested for strength using the Janka hardness scale, making it perfect for active households with dogs, kids, and heavy furniture.
4. Built-in Mold Protection
Proximity hardwood includes Cleanivity antimicrobial protection to inhibit mold, mildew, and bacteria growth. This feature ensures your floors stay beautiful, odor-free, and healthy for your family and pets.
Stylish and Functional
Proximity’s engineered hardwood doesn’t just offer unmatched durability; it also looks incredible. With a variety of colors and finishes, including distressed and low-sheen options that help hide scratches and pet hair, you can find a style that complements your home’s aesthetic.
